Abstract
IT may be remembered that the Royal Commission on Whisky, which in 1908-9 gave a lengthy consideration to the matter, did not find a very satisfactory answer to the query “What is whisky?” The Government of Western Australia has also been debating this question, and some years ago it issued regulations under which certain chemical standards for “pure pot-still whisky” were proposed for adoption. The proposals met with some criticism.4 It was alleged, in fact, that many pot-stills employed in Great Britain could not produce whisky which would' comply with the requirements.
